Description
Dive into a deep story of corruption, crime and intrigue. Take the role of gritty Police Chief Jack Boyd, and come face to face with the ugly underbelly of Freeburg, a city spiraling the drain. Will Jack reach his retirement with a nice stack of bills, or will he end up broken ... or worse?
Manage your staff, respond to emergencies, and investigate crimes in a city on the brink of chaos. The mafia underworld maneuvers behind the scenes, sinking their claws ever deeper into the city, even as the mayor is ready to exploit every situation to his political advantage.
Choose your approach to each situation as it unfolds. Sometimes you’ll be responding to a developing crisis at a crime scene, or negotiating with Freeburg’s crime bosses. Sometimes you’ll find yourself dodging questions in the press room, or even the occasional cross-examination in the witness box. Can you keep this pressure cooker from exploding, at least for long enough to stash away a nice retirement nest egg?
- Your mission is clear: make $500,000 in 180 days before Jack Boyd reaches retirement. How? That’s up to you!
- Decisions, decisions! This Is the Police is all about a dark story and how you react to it. Whatever you decide, your choices will influence the game – and the fate of Jack Boyd.
- The Good, the Bad, and... the Ugly? The Chief of Freeburg's Police Department deals with all kind of people. It is up to you to find the bad guys and decide how to deal with them.
- Carry out your duties. As head of Freeburg PD, Jack deals with all sorts of challenges every day: responding to emergencies, managing his officers, defending the department against City Hall and a corrupt mayor, and much more.
- Solve Investigations and gather evidence against the criminal gangs of Freeburg.
- Deal with the competing powers of the city. Everyone offers you favors, and each one comes at a price.
Rich and fully voiced story: Jack Boyd is portrayed by Jon St. John, the voice of Duke Nukem.

Excellent game, let down by a few issues
This is one of the best games I played recently.
It’s not been designed for mobile, and sometimes it shows as touch targets are small and the iPhone notch covers some elements.
Late in the story, you can make a decision which can screw you big time. Some choices only affect you for a short time, but this one will be in effect until the end of the game, and there is no warning. That really put me off the endgame, and it took me months to finish the last few days in game.
The other issue I discovered is there is a bugged investigation in sandbox. After solving the case, I got an infinite stream of tasks on the side, slowing my game and phone to a crawl. I struggled through the day, but any subsequent days would have no assignments at all.
If these two bugs/balance issues were sorted, it would be a five star game
Gud Game
I have to say having only spent a few hours playing I’m already loving the unique art style, complexing story and just the whole police management aspect of the game. Where I’m at currently, which is only 4 hours in, I’d say it’s well worth £7.
